Knowing the specific error may give a clue.  I have to say I've not tried
the latest Git. Will do it later when I get a spare moment or two. See what
happens ( this'll be under Linux ).

You could also try one or more of the following configure options, see if
they give you more clues,

  --enable-checkmem       turn on ccmalloc debugging
  --enable-debug          turn on debugging
  --enable-profiling      turn on profiling
  --enable-warnings       turn on compiler warnings

In which case it"s not Homebrew. Could easily be an errant library though.
By the way, when you say 'segfaults in both cases', I take it you mean only
the resulting pdf2swf binary, and not any of the other tools?  

Have you also checked the mailing list archives?
